It would be a good start to press F8 to open a cmd prompt and check to make sure you have an IP address, etc at that point.

Then, go look at the smsts.log file on X:\ and see what happens. Usually this fails because you lack a network driver for connecting back to the share (thus no IP address, thus the process can't continue), but I've heard of other things causing this. They're just not as common as network driver issues. Press F8 to get to the command prompt, which will keep it from rebooting if it fails.

Now it boots up to the WINPE and I select x86. I see the solution accelerator screen and then it reboot. I've update deplyment share and then update the media media content. Any suggestions?

Though I'm not a tech-guy nor am I related to the IT field directly, but I need the deployment tool for setting up my friends and family computers, particularly for Applications And Drivers deployment. Pardon my low level knowledge here, but I want to ask a question. I created this deployment share and installed windows 7 on my Laptop. The laptop HDD had 3 partitions prior to installation. During the installation, the deployment share Created only one partition and formatted it by default. I want to have a custom Format and Partition Wizard where user can manually configure this step. Would you kindly guide me on this step? Thanks in advance. @Cluberti

I have tried at least 50 times today, trying all the possible ways, but no luck. When the disk is clean with no partitions, the installation is failing with "Failed to run the action : Copy scripts" I dont think its a BIOS issue since I got this error on multiple models (eg: Dell E4310, HP 6710b etc.) Below thread talks about the exact issue. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/mdt/thread/d9f21dd3-557f-4510-ac5f-9d4d583c774e One person resolved it by using a USB flash drive instead of a USB HDD. It might help since the architecture of a USB flash drive is different, but the sad part is i do not have a 16 GB drive. Also i cannot use a DVD since the the image is 10 GB. If you can think of any solutions, please suggest :) this is crazy.

You might be correct though, that the drive letters may be an issue, but I've installed hundreds of machines this way and never had one with this issue, so I'm wondering if it is machine-specific.
